Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

. - Another exception to note on that foreign buyer ban is the number of units/doors for your investment: I believe the magic number is 5+ as this would be considered as commercial Real Estate- In Ontario, you will also have to look our for the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) which imposes about 25% on the purchase tax.

@Daniel Cacho I’m 35 years old, have been in the game for over a decade, own 26 doors, run a property management company with 350+ units, and operate a realty brokerage with a small team of agents.

@Jim Stanley Say No to DIY on SDIRA owned units.  

On some older properties where perhaps you have one water meter for 2-3-4 units or one gas meter for 2-3-4 units, or units that share hot water, something like that the owner might pay. 

Fast forward to today and I am financially free with in Painesville, Ohio a 27 unit, 24 unit, 21 unit, 20 unit 15 unit, 12 unit, 8 unit, and 6 unit.  

Most institutional DSCR lenders prefer one lease per property/unit, however, I've seen programs allowing rent by room strategies.

In this case, you can use Rental Income from the units that you will not be living in and that income can count to help you qualify.FHA rates are going to be lower than conventional for you almost always, but FHA does have a 1.75% funding fee. 

Multi-family units and investing for equity are my focuses to start, unless anyone has any other suggestions?

It’s a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit that I’ve been living in for the past two years.
